I met a guy at a party who said he was into cycling. I told him I used to like cycling but my bike is so broken the repair tech said I should cut my losses and get a new one. He started giving me advice about what wheels and tires to put on my new bike. I asked him how much they would cost and he said they weren’t expensive - just about $1200 per wheel. Turns out this guy was significantly richer than me.
Was in a bike shop the other day and they were selling a wheel for €1.2k. Didn’t even come with the axle or the tyre
at that point it really just feels like being expensive for the sake of being expensive, so that rich twats can show off how rich they are
